I'm going to guess this is less about parking and more about eliminating a place where the unhoused gather.

Just scrolled through my TikTok live feed and every single live is broadcasting from a No Kings protest somewhere.

This is really is a PERFECT false dichotomy statement isn't it? Everyone is immediately staking claims in the middle, accepting the premise that LLMs have value.

Super telling on yourself when you use an AI tweaked photo for your profile pic. Let's be honest, your favorite thing about AI is how cool that picture looks.

Nope, swing and a miss. Try reading the actual criticism of this hopelessly boolean statement.

/3 But a huge plurality, at least, of the modern GOP is of the opinion that noticing bigoted trash is more un-American and destructive than BEING bigoted trash: that dehumanizing fellow Americans based on immutable characteristics is morally superior to criticizing anyone for doing that.

All of America is being gutted the same way. This is end stage capitalism y'all.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.

We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.

Butt Cracks and Beer Bellies: Is Trump Failing on Immigration because ICE Creates Negative Spectacle? - emptywheel

I suspect that a big reason Stephen Miller has turned immigration into a losing issue for Donald Trump is because Miller's goons create an endless supply of negative spectacle that goes viral and seed...

I had been out a ride and finished about 7pm. I live about 8 blocks away. I had just watched a dumbass run the light at Arsenal and Gravois who then tore ass down Nebraska.

It was a crappy car driven in a way that said "I don't give a shit about anything"

It's the inhumanity that gets me.

The insanity is that Trump's retaliation is entirely extortion. If they had ever had the guts to stand up against him even once they would have kneecapped that power.

They've been outed as a company that will pay the ransom, so they will continue to face extortion.

So this isn't a case reference, but a news article about ABC taking a knee and settling?

How the hell is one company capitulating a legal argument? Whoever wrote this is not a member of the bar, and may have suffered head trauma.
